intellectual property theft > lame.

okay, so it may not be intellectual property theft, but c'mon people, the similarities are undeniable.

so here's the stitch: something is wrong with my CD player in my car, so for the past 2 days i have been listening to the radio - it's pretty BLAH, by the way (i like KCRW, but it was talk radio at the time). so, while i was making my rounds on the radio dial, i turned to the beloved KIIS FM and this one song came on. something about parties, getting drunk, etc., and i thought to myself..."hmmm...this song sounds familiar. this can't be uffie...can it?"

who could it be?? who could it be? i come home and talk to mark about it, this uffie wannabe, but we come up with nothing. i decide to google what i remembered about the song and this is all i had to put into my search bar "new pop song crunk junk" (because i remember her talking about touching her junk...what? the line just stood out to me). anyway, the song is called "tik tok" by kesha or ke$ha, as she is sometimed referred as.

these are just some of the lyics:
Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddi
(Hey, what up girl?)
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door - I'm gonna hit this city (Lets go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back
I'm talkin' bout - pedicures on our toes, toes
Trying on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowing up our phones, phones
Drop-topping, playing our favorite cd's
Pulling up to the parties
Trying to get a little bit tipsy

umm...rip of kid sister (pedicures)? rip of uffie? c'mon, people! justice is one of the most recognized groups in the world right now, and the person who produced this album didn't even notice? shame on you, kesha, producer guy and top 40 radio listeners. the end.

for your viewing pleasure.

i wish, i wish

this comment will make mark happy: i really wish i could appreciate art more. there are some pieces that i am just in awe over, and there are others that...well...are bad. anyway, needless to say, the following photos are the former, not the latter. i was looking at this very cool blog tonight the black eiffel and saw these pictures.

a book installation! whaaa? those are books that make up that "door frame" or walkway or whatever you want to call it. installation by jan raymend, photo by tim tom.


a hanging garden? installation done by gerda steiner & jorg lenzlinger.
